Oh, good grief. If I was a cop and someone opened the door with a gun pointed at my head, I`m not going to stand there and ask questions.
The guy was an idiot for opening the door with a weapon at the ready. The cops were idiots for not identifying themselves. IMHO, they are both at fault.
There is just no good to be found here. The lesson I get is don’t open the door and don’t let the cops in once they ID themselves unless they have a warrant.
The mentality of the no knock warrant is going to lead to more of this sort of thing as overstretched cops try to deal with the ruthless gangbangers Obama lets in this country to garner as many votes, legal or illegal, as possible. They are just the unwanted dross that comes with the more well behaved new Socialist voting bloc.
More citizens will arm themselves and treat every unannounced contact as a potential deadly threat. Cops will stretch the rules as much as possible to get “tactical advantage” to try and live through another shift, and in the end, the government will demand that we disarm to keep this sort of thing from happening.
I don’t see a way out of the spiral.
From the article:
While it’s true that Scott had a criminal history and that drugs were found in Scott’s apartment, those facts have little to do with his death.
I beg to differ. Drugs lead to paranoia.
Sounds to me like: Darwin knocked....and he answered.
Good grief. Where in the world did you get the idea that happened?
